Now for my card 🙂 I used Fireside Friends for this sweet card. I stamped with Ranger waterproof ink and watercolored with Mission Gold watercolors. Since the move, I don’t have access to all my craft stuff and watercolors were the easiest to carry along 🙂

Thanks so much for visiting!

Hi, friends! I’m happy to share that this week I’ll be part of a wonderful feature by Newton’s Nook Designs! For today, I share a watercolor card on their blog so be sure to stop by and leave them (and me) some love 🙂

Now for my card 🙂 I created a basic scene using Whispering Pines and distress inks. I used various green distress inks to stamp the trees and even used second and third generation stamping (when you just keep stamping without reinking the stamp). This gives the illusion of a larger forest. The Whispering Pines set is perfect for this look as the trees already have a watercolored texture to them. To finish the card off, I stamped the silhouette of the dog and the sentiment in black waterproof ink and some splatters from my Mission Gold watercolors.

Hope you enjoyed my card! Thanks so much for inviting me, Jennifer! 🙂

Hello! I am sharing another guest post for Your Next Stamp! Yay. In this post, I talk about one of my favorite techniques – which is ink blending. Distress inks were the first things that drew me to cardmaking. For this card below, I created a night sky background using a few Distress Inks: Black Soot, Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire, and Broken China. I used painter’s tape so that I could mask off some white space instead of creating a background on the whole card front. After blending, I added some water splatters and white pigment ink spray. I used my heat tool to dry it before I stamped the house silhouettes and heat embossed the sentiment with VersaMark and white embossing powder. 🙂
